Edit | Brocade Top and Pleated Dress

Happy Monday, gorgeous readers!

My best friend Jen used to say that everyone has a mental editor who controls what words come out of one's mouth. Well, I think mine just took a week-long break because I've found myself putting my foot in my mouth a lot! Nothing vulgar or offensive, but just painfully awkward. Like the whole:

Me: How are you?
Co-worker: Not too bad. How are you?
Me: I'm well thanks. How are you?
Co-worker: ... Stil fine...It's the kind of awkward that makes you wish there was a hole in the ground you can sink to so you can hide for a few hours.

It's funny because I think I sound much more coherent on this blog but that's probably because I can edit my writing. Editing spoken words? Not so much.

Share some of your most painfully awkward conversations! I can't be the only one who suffers from the "awkward girl" syndrome, can I?Top: Brocade peplum top Gifted from KoreaBottoms: boohoo.com dress worn as a skirtAccessories: H&M belt, Juicy Couture clutch, Forever 21 rings and braceletsShoes: Michael Antonio pumps

Beautiful outfit! It feels like I suffer from the "awkward girl" syndrome a lot. There is nothing in particular I can think of right now but sometimes I should first think and then say something and not the other way around! :)

Hey I got a mention! :) My mental editor takes long extended breaks leaving me with incredibly awkward situations lol! Usually they happen at work where you finances are at risk, but usually a good facepalm saves the situation for me...

Nope, you're definitely not alone. I have too many awkward conversations too remember just one. But I think something that has happened to me more than once, is if my waiter says something, and I respond with an illogical yet automatic response. For instance, "hope you enjoy your meal!" and I reply, "thanks, you too!" Which, obviously makes no sense. Love the dress to skirt look :)
